For all that it cost him
He never did complain
That chicken-headed man
Just feathering the rain
But the last bus is tired
And everybody's gone
The horses are waiting
In the middle of the lawn
Gone for the rodeo
Gone from the tundra, girl
It's after the fair that's when I see you live
She sleeps in countless
The fat man in her hood
Today is the night
Is it bleeding out of you?
"Come into my trailer
We'll toast a little bread
Oh, look, you've left a hole
Where you laid on my bed," he said
But you keep what you can keep
When you dive into the deep
There's year after frozen year
That's where I saved you there
Oh, away from the sky
Oh, away from the sky
Oh, away from the sky
Oh, away from the sky
When everybody's gone now
It's after the fair
And the horses are painted
With the waiting of the lawn
You turn the carousel on
When the lights have closed down
And watch your ponies run
Through the middle of town
So there you go, little girl, there you go
Gone from the tundra now
It's after the fair
That's when I
Over the fences again
The vacuums in the hall
And the planes up in the air
That's where I hear you best
Oh, away from the sky
Oh, away from the sky
Oh, away from the sky
Oh, away from the sky
